SINGAPORE – Bars, cinemas and all other entertainment outlets will be closed from Thursday (March 26) 11.59pm till April 30, as Singapore’s fight against Covid-19 enters a new phase amid a wave of imported cases to the country.

In announcing its strictest measures yet, the multi-ministry task force also said on Tuesday (March 24) that:

* All centre-based tuition and enrichment classes will be suspended to reduce the intermingling of students from different schools and enhance the safety of students.

* All religious services will be suspended.

* Malls, museums and restaurants must reduce crowd density to stay open.

* All Singapore residents returning from Britain and the United States from Wednesday (March 25), 11.59pm, will have to stay in hotels to serve their 14-day stay home notice (SHN).

* Those who breach the SHN will face enhanced fines of less than $10,000 or jail of less than six months or both.

* Any Singapore resident or long term pass holder who leaves Singapore from March 27 will be charged unsubsidised rates should they be hospitalised in public hospitals for Covid-19 treatment.
